The death toll from devastating Hurricane Dorian will be 'staggering' with thousands still missing, officials have warned amid reports looters are 'trying to shoot people' in the scramble for food and water.
Up to 70,000 are in need of 'life-saving assistance' while Great Abaco is said to be virtually uninhabitable, with bodies piled up and witnesses say there is a 'smell of death' with corpses floating in the water.
While the official death toll stands at 30, that number is expected to rise today and hundreds of body bags have been ordered along with extra freezers.
A massive international relief effort was ramped up today as survivors revealed horrifying details of the 'apocalyptic' aftermath of the 185mph, Category-5 storm.
One of them, Alicia Cooke, broke down in tears as she revealed: 'Everything is gone, people are starting to panic. Pillaging, looting, trying to shoot people for food and water. It's just no way everyone's going to get out.'

“Thought the Bahamas were pretty much a gun free zone already?”
Apparently the looters/criminals didn’t get the memo.
That gets me, all these rich people in Puerto Rico or Bahamas resorts begging US tax payer money now.
Well, I keep DEMANDING the font size for “GUN FREE ZONE” signs be increased. What do I get? Bupkiss!
words and also censorship
Culture, culture, culture.
I don’t know the Bahamas; but cultural, religious, and yes, racial - homogeneity all are major factors in societal organization and stability.
You only have what you can defend.
It wouldn’t bother me at all if the Daily Mail were to be put on the “Do Not Post Here” list here.
It is simple. Jacksonville Alpha evac zones are rich people with coastal and boat river access, then middle class in Delta, and then all the crime area is a non evac zone.
Evacuation would mean all the potential looters would be staying behind with big trouble for whomever trying to claim back their house.
From Wikipedia:
“According to the 99% response rate obtained from the race question on the 2010 Census questionnaire, 90.6% of the population identified themselves as being Black, 4.7% White and 2.1% of a mixed race (African and European).”

It’s a steady job, but he wants to be.....
I am in a bad part of town on Florida East coast. I had set up tire and gravel mini berms as shooting positions against looters in hidden in my yard.
Yeah. Remember when we were skewered for not helping Haiti more.
Then when it was revealed that Hillary had her paws all over the money we sent...
Crickets!
People like those thugs need to go into the ground.
Horrible. And we don’t need nasty remarks, such as I have seen below.
If you saw photos of that place, this is very believable. I live in a hurricane area of the South and after you’ve been hit by a storm, your house has been either wiped out or made uninhabitable...you can’t imagine how it feels. Probably in this case, many of their neighbors and their family members are dead.
I’m not defending looting, but it’s a problem even in the US, although it’s not necessary here and is just criminal. In the US, help will come and people aren’t looting to feed or bring water to their children, by any means! But for a lot of these islands, help may not come for quite awhile, and thanks to the left and anti-Christianity, their civilization actually broke down a long time ago (which is why no visitors venture outside their resorts).
So I think we need to be a little less harsh. The Brits and the US and other places connected with this area need to supply food and water and medical - and burial - materials, bring out as many police or troops as necessary to protect people, but let’s admit that this is a bad situation. It was obvious from the photos that more than 30 people died.
A man in South Florida just sent 100 generators there a day or two ago. People from S Florida sail or go there all the time to dive or fish, and I’m glad to see some support.
And then came Pizzagate of Haitian orphans... a truly sick organization. I am pretty sure the FBI has a rule of cowardly agnosticism on this at this point
“...Japanese inCels line up for a comic mag convention:”
That’s creepy. No one in Japan exists as an individual.
Yep. Ban guns and people will stop killing each other and just be happy to starve to death.
Went to the Bahamas on our honeymoon almost 25 years ago.
Never felt so relieved to walk back on board the cruise ship after the day excursion. Felt like being back in civilization.
The local men eye raping my wife for starters.
Can’t imagine the place after this storm.
The thin veneer of civilization.
